  5. THE LA VERNA ICEHOUSES PATH

The La Verna icehouses path

The “La Verna Icehouses path”, also called “Forest of fairies”, it’s one of the most beautiful hiking trails in the province of Arezzo, and it passes through the magnificent woods of La Verna, full of beech and fir trees, and other secular trees such as maple trees, ash trees and so on

 

The ring trail coasts Monte Penna rocky sides, among masses covered in musk that, along with the luxuriant vegetation, creates a fairy tale atmosphere all around. This spot is located in the Foreste Casentinesi, Monte Falterona e Campigna National Park, a beautiful place with the air filled with freshness even during summer. Along the path, which lies almost entirely in the shadow of the centennial forest, there are caves used since ancient time as icehouses to store food, from which fresh air constantly comes out, giving a pleasant and restoring sensation from hot summer days.

 

Together we will discover this natural phenomenon and we will give you the chance to do it in a eco-friendly way. We will organise for you your travel from and to Arezzo with public means of transport; you will be accompanied by the guide until the starting point of the trip and he will be with you on your way back to Arezzo, giving you all useful information along the way.

 

It will be a unique experience, which takes into account environmental sustainability and your wellbeing, since we will give you the opportunity to do this nice nature hiking tour without using your car.
